Theme: Remix - Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On"

• Your beat must be no longer than 4 minutes!
  
• You are doing a full song with the Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" acapella - DOWLOAD HERE
• The original "What's Goin' On" song is around 100 BPM

You have 4 minutes to make a beat and have the Marvin Gaye "What's Goin' On" acapella on it. You can flip the acapella any which way you want.

You can use whatever sounds you want, samples, synths, just remember to read the rules for the rest of the restrictions. What the voters will be looking for is originality, creativity, mixing skills and overall dopeness!

Sponsor

I might be tripping but seems the acappella download link is down, good people.

Still some room left. I'm surprised, there's not too many signups for this one.

Here are the beats! The results will be posted tonight.

Listen to the beats:

Pretty close between the top 2 imo. But 5 entries for a classic Marvin pella is ludicrous. Was going to suggest we stay ratchet on the pellas so we can have 20 entries erry time, but nah. Let's stick with quality over quantity.

Tactik - that is some slick shit right there! Great job!

 

[Fade]

The only problem is Tactik didn't use the acapella!

 

[TACTIK]

Yeah true I should have been reading this forum...

 

[TACTIK]

Thanks Feed! I'm all layering different high and low frequency loops if the samples agree with my EQ's.

 

[Fade]

My fault @TACTIK . I re-read what I have for the rules: "You can flip the acapella any which way you want."

I forgot about that part, so it means you can use parts of it or the whole thing. Listening to your beat you DO use it, so it's all good!
